halfords mixed paints are ok on the colour match , have had ink black and sprinty from them and both where good , take your paint code in to them and they will mix a spray can for you at about £12-£15 a can .

I have a completely different experience of Halfords colour match, on a Scotts Green. I watched them mix it (using hte correct colour code) and it was visibly different. So different in fact that I got them to take it out to the car and agree that I wouldn't be paying for it!

The best match I found was using www.paints4u.com ... it was spot on. they will do it in spray cans, 100ml pots and various other forms/ sizes. All with very quick delivery smile

I also had a bad one from halfrauds, gave them the paint code and they mixed a visibly different colour. I got a perfect match from Morelli in the end, cost about £15

Ruben! Never use halfords for paint, I made that mistake.

Try these guys http://www.romartautomotive.co.uk/ not a million miles away from you either.


I've had some paint mixed with them, they really know their stuff.
